May is here…

The past few weeks has gone by quickly.  We were able to deliver the blankets to the hospital and the people were so excited.  They could not get over the bright colors and beautiful work by the people of ODBC!  It was like Christmas and they could not wait to go through the boxes and look at each one.  Thanks again for all your help and support.  I have been continuing to meet with Eva and have been blessed by being invited to her home.  God has allowed me to have opportunities to fellowship with other ladies, in creative ways.   One called wanting to have some adult fellowship while her husband was in Greece for work, another helped clean and prepare for her son’s birthday party, and another to get to know her better before she heads off to Thailand. On Saturday, we had kids English and craft time with 9 kids.  We made keychain holders or decorations for backpacks…whichever way you want to look at it.  The kids had fun and enjoy learning English through play with Rachel.  This week we have 2 holidays, May 1 is Labor Day and May 3rd is Constitution Day (like our 4th of July).  So many people go away on vacation and this allows for me to meet up with others and them not to come to me.  Iwona and I continue to work at Polish conversation.  I am thankful for some extra time of prayer and for getting things ready for Kim and Sarah.  So excited about them coming to visit and helping me see Warsaw again through new eyes!  J

 Cup of Coffee version…

There are little things that have been exciting for me – like being able to find new places or take different stops off the metro or bus route.  Also has been neat going on different bus routes, to see how some areas are so different than others.  To help you visualize a little – think of driving in Brockport, then Greece and then over to Pittsford.  It has been fun getting to know people and getting to meet for coffee or go to their home and help them out.  One friend is 5 months pregnant with her 3rd child and not as active as she is used to being…so being able to help her clean a little and help her feel better about the way her home looks – means a lot.  Also was able to bless a family with a meal and that was really neat too!  Good thing I like coffee – I am meeting some friends for coffee or cooking at my apartment.  There was an opportunity to share about our ministry and I was asked when we will open a second location and if it will be north of Warsaw.  Other friends have been so encouraging and wanting to share where I should take Kim and Sarah.  They are also excited about meeting them.    So I have a few more things to get in place and ready for a few weeks of fellowship at my place.  Thanks again for all your prayers and support!  J
